D.C had a very successful fund raising event that was held last
Saturday, February 21st at the Washington Times Building. This was the
11th annual celebration for a voice that has united the Eritrean community in
the greater Washington D.C area and also via the World Wide Web through out
the globe. As usual many Eritrean businesses, organizations
& individuals sponsored the event and showed their full support. For
the last 11 years the Voice of Eritrea has mobilized, informed and
educated the public while also defending the interests of the people of
Eritrea. It continues to this day to defend all the evil schemes
being thrown at Eritrea using many propaganda tactics created by
the TPLF minority regime and its co-horts. This past year an additional
English and Amharic programs were added and served the interests of
the people and did their jobs very well. The guest of honor and key note speaker was Dr. Ghidewon
Abbay Asmerom. Dr.Ghidewon chronicled the accomplishments of the Voice of
Eritrea and it's steadfastness in defending the nation and also helping to
build a strong community right here in the U.S.A. Mr. Saleh Iman, head of
Consular Services at the Embassy of Eritrea Washington, DC, spoke at the
event. He highlighted the accomplishments of the radio programs and
praised the selfless service of the board and staff of VOE. He went on to add
that the community must continue to get engaged and support this important
means of communication in every way possible. Attendance was very good and the audience was enthusiastic
in giving moral and financial support and the fund raising was very
successful. As always the community came through once again. Certificates of
recognition were awarded to VOE-DC staff who have served the radio program in
various capacities in the last 11 years as well as to the folks who have been
working and contributing to the mission of the VOE. Entertainment was provided by the popular singer Mulugeta
